Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performscomprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, includingover 3500 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, versions on over 900 servers,and version specific problems on over 250 servers. Scan items and pluginsare frequently updated and can be automatically updated (if desired).

Nikto requires libwhisker2 and Net-SSLeay perl modules, both of whichare available in the SlackBuilds.org repository.

WARNING: if you're updating from 2.03 to 2.1.0 keep in mind thatthe configuration file have been changed from the old location/etc/nikto/config.txt (a debianism I introduced to work around theconfig.txt unspecified location) to the newer, official /etc/nikto.conf.Speaking of debianism: I removed the symolic link /usr/bin/nikto creation,upgradepkg will not rm it but newer installs will not have it anymore. Ifyou like the link and want to retain it in future updates, just uncommentthe needed lines inside the SlackBuild.
